Do you want to find out out to design clothes and other fabric items?

This is a practical course for students interested in all types of fabric and clothing design. The course includes developing creativity, learning about different fabrics, colour, making a pattern from measurements and improving sewing techniques. Students enjoy the freedom to create a range of products, and experiment with fabric decoration techniques such as screen printing, hand or machine embroidery, patchwork and applique. Each student has the opportunity to explore their own interest in fashion and to develop their own sense of style. Students will complete three practical projects with supporting design work.
Topics include:
Make a pattern made from your own measurements, by you, and create your own designs
Use screenprint and embroidery techniques to personalise your fabric and create your own hoodie
Make cushions as gifts from fabrics designed by you
